Syntax error: "(" unexpected about nfancurve HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm running it in Ubuntu 18.04 and it runs ok
oh I know what you are doing sh temp.sh
don't run it like that, run it like this ./temp.sh

just like the docs say

sh runs it as SHELL, it needs to run as BASH

Cheers!

Thanks! Is it necessary to create a .desktop file and link to this, or can you target this script directly as a startup application in Ubuntu? Just having a problem getting this to autorun in the background

Hey sorry about the late reply. @jBachalo are you having trouble with the desktop file itself? You can check if it works by just running the desktop file and everything should work if done correctly. However, it could be a problem with my update script, so if the desktop file doesn't work; open a terminal to where you have my script stored, and run the update script (./update.sh) and it should start a background process. If it doesn't, let me know.

If that doesn't work, just try nohup ./temp.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &. You can check if the process is running by running htop, press F4 and type "temp" and it should show the process there.

If your desktop file doesn't work, paste the contents of it here so I can make sure it's all good. Also, make sure to put the desktop file in your /home/user/.config/autostart/ folder (where user is your user account name).

If anyone wants to help improve either the documentation or has some sort of problem/difficulty with setting up the script to automatically run upon boot, please let me know.

Otherwise I'll be closing this issue in a month. :)
